be fair guys this was done by an 8 year old
if your sons really serious about trying to make it exactly like optimums prime this is what you should do
what you should do is get the mask/Helmut for reference or some other refrence that you can turn any wich way so you can see the details
then have him figure out what colors he needs to build each area (build it in sections esp cause not many ppl have that large a suplly of blue black and silver leggos and this may take a while unless u scale it down)
leggo does sell bulk blocks on the web site by color
still not one to critisize in a contest leggo ran when i was a kid i made a space ship that looked like the patradge famly buss r rocket engines

Hi, this is Rosedale25's mom -- thank you for your helpful words. Now, I'll educate myself -- what is the "mask/Helmut" you refer to above? Can you link me to instructions? My son wanted to build a sphere, but found it difficult to curve the edges properly.

We have a *truckload* of Lego at home -- our fav. Lego expert right now is Nathan Sawaya. We saw an online CNN report about him and his fabulous work.

He has build more indepth models, but I'm not sure his brain has learned to think in "sections"
